hey hey whats up party people!! I've hit another stubling block in my quest for the most questions asked journey.
i need a set of driveshafts that dont exist. but i think i can cut some other off and make it work? but before i do i wanted professional advice
heres the sitch

ARRMA Aluminum Center Diff Set, 50T 200K, ARA311118​

replacing transmission on my cen f450.
problem is the cups are ginormous. and the lengths are off

i need a front 105mm driveshaft for a 6s arrma
rear center 117mm for a 6s arrma
but alas they arent a thing.
but as I'm looking at my useless driveshaft i noticed the end is removeable. held on by a grub,

so can i buy a longer shaft and cut it off then add an adapter.
I'm thinking of ordering Arrma 142mm CVD Driveshaft
ara310458.webp

which are 142mm long. then cut one set down to 105mm and one down to 117mm
then id have to put the end from the khaos hardened steel driveshafts that goes into the axles on? (first pic)
would that work?
 
106mm. Same ball dia as Arrma (I know you said 105mm, but the ball ends could be sanded down 0.5mm each end)
